Scan 3D Objects via a USB Webcam for Free

If you have ever wanted to scan 3D models of real objects into your computer but didn’t want to cough up thousands of bucks for the software you can now do it for free. That is assuming you have a laser of some sort that projects a straight line onto the subject and a USB webcam. The software is called DAVID and to use it you place the object you want to scan into a corner with 90 degree angles. The software will puzzle the images together to give you a complete 360 degree view of the subject. However, the site states the portion of the software that puzzles the images together is not currently available. At least you can scan one side of the object into your PC.

This is an excellent song. I found it whilst surfing GooTube. The video has clips from The 4400 (TV Show).

It's a little late, but this is my favourite Christmas picture of 2006. It's almost postcard worthy. The new camera is really making a difference to my work, but I need to read much more about it's functions, especially in low light.

New Job

I've started my new job as a contractor at Corporate Express. It's strange adapting to a new job after so many years at my previous employer, but I guess I'll get used to it and also to being there at 8:30 everyday.

I'm looking forward to getting into a major project soon.
